The Crisantemo Beret (Chrysanthemum in English) borrows from its namesake the way it blooms in Autumn. It’s also easy to keep, just as this beret is easy to make! The shape of the flower itself is made with bobbles, which makes a lovely texture.

The Crisantemo Beret is worked in the round from the top of the crown to the brim, increasing stitches every other round to create the circular shape, and then the stitches are decreased in the same ratio to get the brim circumference.
